How big of a tank should you get for a 7 inch large mouth bass?

A large mouth bass of 7 inches will need at least a 50-75 gallon tank to provide enough space for swimming and growth. However, as they grow quickly, it is recommended to have a larger tank to accommodate their adult size. An 80-100 gallon tank would be better in the long run for a large mouth bass.

How has the smallmouth bass affected the fresh water ecosystem?

Smallmouth bass, as predators, can impact the freshwater ecosystem by altering the population size and behavior of their prey and competing with native fish species for resources. Their presence can lead to changes in the composition and balance of the ecosystem. In some cases, smallmouth bass can outcompete native fish species, leading to a decrease in biodiversity.


Is the small-mouth bass a secondary consumer?
